- I am learning to see. I don't know why it is, but everything penetrates more deeply into me and does not stop at the place where until now it always used to finish. I have an inner self of which I was ignorant. Everything goes thither now, what happens there I do not know. - Rilke

Uff...I tried it out again. This time , I was at (-2.88, -0.56) at my liberal *and* conservative best :) A little less bang in the middle this time. I think the shift in the economic leftness was due to just not knowing enough about economics/not being clear on the question to be really able to make up my own mind.
I got (-1.31, -6.21). I was a little closer to the economic center this time than last year, though probably within the margin of error.
(-3.38, -4). I'm happy being where I am :). At least I'm not as extreme as some other people......
s was (-1.00, -2.51).
nikhil - that's close enough for you to be acceptable as a friend :)
amrith - i think you're fast moving towards g.w.
adu - what's with the fascism man?
ha ha, i like to think of it as moderation, not fascism. i'm a middle-winger through and through.
i think we should do this test every year and share our results to keep each other informed of our latest outlooks on life. i've done it thrice already (over a span of 2/2.5 years I think), and no significant changes yet.
well, look at it from where i'm at. you're hitler only :). realm of worthwhile existence being one quadrant only :).
i think you used to be in a different quadrant 3 years ago though.
adu - as i told amrith and 8&20 yesterday, getting very different scores each year is probably more indicative of the test being flawed than our views changing significantly.... :)
its also interesting how 8&20 has basically shifted the coordinate system to situate the origin at (-6.25, -6.82) and define everyone else relative to that.....
(-3.63,- 7.33)
thanks for the link! :)
